Nurburgring Sept. 30th - Oct. 4th

[irlmin]

When i went it was damp and no bikes to worry about, it was intersting in the wet, but good fun aslong as you didn't push yourself. It can bite you in the ass can that place. Scary as feck 8O

Thats an understatement Chris , as well as biting You in the ass it can also leave a BIG hole in Your pocket , People don't realise if You crash and damage the Armco or Track and have to call recovery and ambulance etc YOU PAY ! , One Guy damaged Armco and closed track for 30 mins had to pay stg £ 15000 Yes fifteen thousand pounds . also be prepared for a battle with your insurance company if You want your Car repaired , some are now putting in exclusions for the Ring in particular OR 'derestricted' toll roads which is what the Ring is , if Your policy has no restrictions like this they HAVE to pay up as the local Police accident report will show the accident happened on a 'national road ' it is certain the insurance company have to pay up for 3rd party claims BUT comp might be a battle . a very good resource for Ring visits is Ben Lovejoy's site www.nurburgring.org.uk .

Flights booked 120euro return for two of us, not bad. Just need to get a motor now. I'm thinking about a new Audi A4 Avant tdi, well Audi were so good to us last time, I may aswell return the favour. :wink: :wink: :wink:
